The contrasting knocks of Harleen Deol and Richa Ghosh found ample support from the bowlers as India etched a commanding 88-run win over Pakistan in a drama-filled ICC Women's World Cup match in Colombo on Sunday. Deol's composed 46 off 65 balls and Richa Ghosh's spirited 20-ball 35 lifted India to a competitive 247 on a sluggish track after the match referee erroneously ruled the toss in favour of Pakistan, who elected to bowl first. Pacer Kranti Gaud (3/20) dismantled Pakistan's top order while the spinners cleaned up the middle-order and tail, bundling them out for 159, despite a valiant effort from Sidra Amin (81 off 106 balls). With this win, India extended their perfect head to head record to 12-0 in ODIs. The match moved on familiar lines and the expected hostilities were conspicuous by its absence, but the day was not entirely bereft of drama. India continued their "no-handshake" policy at the toss or after the match, sticking to the precedent set d...

It was not quite the kind of passenger anyone expected in the lift of a high-rise society in Noida, but there it was, a cobra, hood flared, writhing on the floor.  Residents of the Golden Palm Society in Sector 168 got the fright of their lives on Sunday when they discovered the reptile lounging in the elevator. According to witnesses, a few residents had been waiting for the lift when it arrived with the unexpected occupant -- a full-grown cobra. What followed was panic and a frantic call to the society's maintenance team. Armed with makeshift tools, the society's maintenance staff managed to trap the cobra safely inside a garbage bin. The snake was later released into a nearby open area. But the encounter has left residents deeply uneasy. The residents said that if a snake can ride the lift, it can go anywhere -- the gym, the lobby, even inside flats. Parents say children are now too frightened to take the elevator alone.  Reports suggest that snakes have been spotted i...

For the families of the children who died in Chhindwara, compensation means little. What is Rs 4 lakh when your child is gone? What is government aid when you've already sold your home, your jewellery, and your dreams to keep a heartbeat going? After days of denial, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has announced Rs 4 lakh compensation for each of the 11 children who died after consuming Coldrif Cough Syrup.  The government will also bear the full cost of treatment for those still fighting for their lives in hospitals. But for the parents in Parasia, the wounds are beyond repair. Many have lost not just their children but everything they owned trying to save them. He Sold His Auto to Save His Child Yasin Khan, a 30-year-old auto driver from Parasia, has not slept for several nights. His three-year-old son, Usaid, was his world. On August 31, Usaid developed a mild fever and cough. The family took him to Dr. Aman Siddiqui, he prescribed Coldrif Syrup.  "After ...

Sanae Takaichi has been elected as the head of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), placing her in line to become the nation's first woman prime minister. She defeated Shinjiro Koizumi, the son of former leader Junichiro Koizumi, in a run-off on Saturday after no candidate secured a majority in the initial round. A parliamentary vote to choose the next prime minister is expected on October 15. A Conservative Figure In A Male-Dominated Arena At 64, Takaichi has long been associated with the right wing of the LDP. Women remain vastly under-represented in Japanese politics. Only about 15% of the powerful lower house are female, and just two women serve as prefectural governors. While some hoped her election might signal change, many observers are sceptical. Yuki Tsuji, a Tokai University professor who specialises in gender and politics, said Takaichi "has no interest in women's rights or gender equality policies." She has historically opposed proposals designed...

A doctor was left with a ruptured eardrum and a bloody nose following an attack by the relatives of a patient at a hospital in Maharashtra's Jalgaon. Mohit Gadiya, a junior resident doctor, saw that the ward where people injured in firecracker explosions were being treated was overcrowded, according to the police complaint. Just before the assault happened on Friday, Gadiya was treating one of the patients in the crowded ward. He then asked the family members of a patient to wait outside due to crowding in the treatment room. However, they refused to leave and thrashed the doctor, throwing strong punches at him several times. When they saw blood coming out of the doctor's nose, the family that attacked the doctor took the patient to another hospital. The hospital informed the police about the incident, following which the police said they have detained two suspects. The Maharashtra Association Of Resident Doctors gave a memorandum to the hospital administration demanding p...

Amid the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) across the globe, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has claimed that there is an 'industrial bubble', but the technology is 'real' and will bring big benefits to society. He stressed that AI will “change every industry,” calling it a once-in-a-generation technological shift. "This is kind of an industrial bubble as opposed to financial bubbles," said Bezos at the Italian Tech Week 2025 in Turin, Italy. He further explained the difference between an industrial and banking bubble: "The banking bubble, the crisis in the banking system, that's just bad, that's like 2008. Those bubbles society wants to avoid. The ones that are industrial are not nearly as bad, they can even be good. Because when the dust settles and you see who are the winners society benefits from those inventions," he said. "That's what is going to happen here too. This is real. The benefits to society from AI are going to...
